Candice Patton Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Oliver (Stephen Amell) looks just as confused as we are in this first sneak peek of the upcoming Arrowverse crossover event, Elseworlds.

After waking up in a strange bed to the sound of breakfast being made, Oliver quickly discovers that he’s not Oliver any more – he’s Barry Allen thanks to wife Iris (Candice Patton).

So, how the heck did the switch happen?!

The crossover event, which brings back Tyler Hoechlin as Superman, and introduces Ruby Rose as Batwoman, and Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, kicks off on Sunday, December 9th and wraps up on Tuesday, December 11th @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.

The 30-year-old actress opened up about the relationship between Iris and Nora, the grown daughter she has yet to even conceive, which got off to a rocky start.

“There was a fun moment between us at Jitters, where Iris is just so desperate to try to relate to her daughter. She’s trying to pretend like she gets it — she wants this connection so badly — but Nora is just not interested, based on things that are happening in the future,” Candice told TVLine.

She continued, “I always worried, ‘I hope this doesn’t continue over the course of the entire season,’ because I don’t think fans want to see Nora and Iris at odds for too long. Thankfully, it won’t be that way for very long. We’ve got a couple of episodes where Iris and Nora are finding their way, and then we see them kind of reconcile and get on a really great path.”

She continues that she’s “always pushing to see Iris at her true calling and her true passion, because I think it’s really important for us to see women doing their jobs — not just being a love interest, but seeing how they contribute.”

“I think Iris’ contribution, not only as a team leader, is her passion, which is writing and being a journalist,” Candice adds.

Iris got to show of her journalistic skills in last night’s episode, too, where she realized Team Flash was facing the same person who killed Gridlock.
